General Disclaimer
This website is intended to provide only general information for informational purposes only. It is not offered as and does not constitute legal advice. Nothing contained on this website represents a legal opinion or advice regarding any particular case or issue. The information is not intended to create, and receipt of the information does not constitute an attorney-client relationship. For legal advice on a specific matter, please consult with an attorney. While e-mails from visitors to this website are welcome, they are not privileged or confidential and receipt of e-mails does not establish an attorney-client relationship. Due to technical problems, absences, or full workloads, it is possible that email to JMMWH or a JMMWH attorney would go unread for some time. Because deadlines are extremely important in most legal matters, you may lose important legal rights if you do not immediately and directly secure an attorney to advise you. Please note that no attorney-client relationship is created with JMMWH absent an express agreement between JMMWH and you.
Iowa Disclaimer
The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific, technical and professional associations and societies of law or field of practice do not mean that a lawyer is a specialist or expert in a field of law, nor do they mean that such a lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. A description or indication of limitation of practice does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyer as a specialist or expert in an indicated field of law practice, nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. This disclosure is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa.

Attorneys are bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by federal privacy laws. We always protect our clients' rights to privacy. In the course of providing our clients with income tax, estate tax and gift tax advice, we receive significant personal information from our clients. If you are a client of Johnson, Miner, Marlow, Woodward & Huff, Prof. LLC, you should know that all information that we receive from you is held in confidence, and is not released to people outside the firm, except as agreed to by you, or as permitted under an applicable law. We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs and in, some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.
